Hi, This website is just what I have been looking for! We ripped out all the bushes in front of our house and want to start new. We live in Ohio, near Dayton. The front of our house gets early morning and late afternoon/evening sun, shady during the day. My husband wants low maintenance if possible! I would like a little color also. I am posting a picture so you can see what the yard looks like. Thanks so much for any suggestions.
